We’re off to a friend's, I know there will be quite a few of us so made cake to share. Mr HNBC said wow, it’s a bit OTT!
Is it too much?

Not OTT at all.

If there's any left (which I doubt) you know where we are!

Brilliant! I wish my cakes turned out like that. It looks delicious.

I'm struggling with the concept of an OTT cake😕

I suspect your husband of hoping you'd decide not to serve it so he could help you to finish it. It looks fabulous.

I'd even take the crumbs, if there's any left..

No, it looks great. Save a piece for me please.

I think it looks amazing! I'm hopeless at making cakes 🙂

It looks fabulous!!! I’d be very happy if you were bringing this to a get together I was at!!

Does anyone else see his little smile smile saying I'm truly scrumptious!

Some people are always negative. Bet it tastes as good as it looks

Daisycuddles Tue 09-Dec-25 14:10:18

Not at all. My stomach is rumbling looking at it !

AuntieE Tue 09-Dec-25 14:21:27

As long as none of your friends are slimming, it looks simply mouth-wateringly delicious.

Are you sure your DH is not just trying to get you to leave it at home, so he can gobble it down tomorrow?

Nandalot Tue 09-Dec-25 14:25:46

It looks so tempting!

WelshPoppy Tue 09-Dec-25 14:27:36

Totally! I'll send my address to take it off your hands 😋.
No, it's a lovely gesture.

hellymart Tue 09-Dec-25 14:32:57

I don't think it's OTT at all. I think your friends will be delighted and touched that you've gone to so much trouble for them.

Growing0ldDisgracefully Tue 09-Dec-25 15:24:36

Ooh, save me a slice! Not OTT at all.
